Default Elevator use during landing approachs

I'm interested in people's comments on the use of elevator to slow the plane down on the landing approach. In full scale, elevtor trim gets a good work out, triming out the back pressure on the elevator. We don't have to deal with back pressure, nor do we use the trim on the elevator to increase up trim during the landing approach. So, I'd be interested to know if we all have similar methods of performing landing approaches? Describe your downwind, base and final aproach's use of the elevator. Thanks!!
